Is Azure Death Magnetic?
Microsoft and Metallica have more in common than people realise. Don’t believe me? Then here is my CleverWorkarounds "check the facts"(tm) campaign to prove it!
| Fact | Microsoft | Metallica |
| They were both cool in the 80’s | ||
| They released some groundbreaking stuff in the 80’s | DOS 3 | Ride The Lightning album Master of Puppets |
| In the 90′ they took off big-time and the mainstream really caught on, but they alienated some older fans | Windows 95 | The Black Album |
| They released some utter crap trying to please their newfound mainstream fanbase | Windows Me Windows Vista |
Load Reload St Anger |
| They both sued people who were illegally copying their stuff | ||
| Everybody loves to hate their figurehead | Bill Gates | Lars Urlich |
| They became a dinosaur and admitting you were a fan made you subject to ridicule | ||
| They tried to improve their image by hanging with cool people | Jerry Seinfeld | The San Francisco Symphony Orchestra |
| Their competitors started attracting their former fans | Apple Linux |
Opeth Slipnot Korn |
| They have both been abused at slashdot | ||
| Both have anger management issues | Steve Balmer | James Hetfield |
Now here is the all important question. Does the trend continue?? You tell me? 🙂
| Both recently released the best thing they have done in years | Azure? | Death Magnetic |
Well, at least Metallica has released the best album in 20 years. What about Microsoft with Azure?
